I'm planning to buy 3-5 pieces golden dorados
S. Fransiscanus to be exact 4-6 inches. Will they kill or hurt my bottom dwellers. Tigrinus, Juerense and others to be exact. Any experienced S fransiscanus keepers there?

can be very aggressive, and they can most certainly destroy the other fish in tank, their jaws are some seriously nasty stuff.

They are very aggressive even towards their own kind but they have been cohabed with bottom dwellers as thebiggerthebetter thebiggerthebetter and headbanger_jib headbanger_jib has done. If you can't take the stress of seeing attacks then I won't do it. Otherwise, welcome to monster fish keeping.

Gotta admit tho. Was not expecting them to be that feisty. They look like salmons on steroids.

Teeth aint what you need to worry about. Dorado could be toothless and those jaws would still **** you up
